Clark says players against radical speed-up changeshttp://www.mail.com/sports/baseball/3378470-clark-players-radical-speed-up-changes.html
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Major league players are against many of the radical changes introduced during the Arizona Fall League to speed up games.
Baseball players' association head Tony Clark is encouraging his membership to make slight adjustments that will improve the pace of games without completely altering the way they do their jobs. A former All-St...Wed, 25 Feb 2015 22:09:11 GMThttp://www.mail.com/sports/baseball/3378470-clark-players-radical-speed-up-changes.html2015-02-25T22:09:11ZPlay Ball: Champion Giants begin effort to win in 'odd year'http://www.mail.com/sports/baseball/3365446-play-ball-champion-giants-effort-to-win-odd-year.html
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — The San Francisco Giants roll in even years, winning the World Series in 2010, 2012 and 2014.
Enough of that pattern, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "We want to have a lot of fun in an odd year," he said while San Francisco pitchers and catchers reported for spring training on Wednesday. Pitchers and catchers also reported to th...Wed, 18 Feb 2015 23:52:12 GMThttp://www.mail.com/sports/baseball/3365446-play-ball-champion-giants-effort-to-win-odd-year.html2015-02-18T23:52:12ZPitchers and catchers report this week to spring traininghttp://www.mail.com/sports/baseball/3361604-pitchers-catchers-report-this-week-to-spring-training.html

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Ryan Vogelsong visited the Houston Astros this week and had an uncomfortable feeling about how he might fit in, and he had discussions with other teams during the course of this offseason.
Each time, everything pointed him back to the Bay Area and the Giants.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Bruce Bochy is crazy superstitious. It's a little-known fact about the unflappable San Francisco Giants manager.
Mere mention of anything about a dynasty during the World Series made him uncomfortable. He felt equally uneasy when his name got linked to the best skippers of all-time — those Hall of Famers he well could join someday.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Buster Posey seemed almost embarrassed.
With an NL Rookie of the Year award and MVP plaque, with two World Series rings at age 27, and the possibility of earning a third in the next 10 days, the San Francisco Giants catcher is among the candidates to become baseball's most popular star following the retirement of Derek Jeter.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — There's a tune Tim Flannery once sung that he finds perfectly fitting to describe how his San Francisco Giants get the most out of themselves in the postseason.
Old standbys like Buster Posey, Hunter Pence and Pablo Sandoval mix with rookie faces, giving the Giants a seemingly unique ability to win every other October.
